8 velocity stacks + 8 exhausts = 8 turbosuperchargers.

Hahaha 😆
I like it 👌 😀

Construction began today with the transmission.  Offering up the engines it looks like I will have to move the bulkhead between the engine and the fighting compartment forwards.
I expected this.
Pz 1 clutch looks tiny compared to the engines so I may use a 1/25 one instead.

Here are the obligatory starting pictures.

That's one BIG engine in one tiny track!

Good choice for the Panzer 1 Fred..the driver training version is much more open ..and umm yeah..stonking big engine 😳 😀
The perfect vehicle for the Top Fuel Tracked drag racing 🏁 😍

I'd like to get some flames painted on it...

Nothing done today.  The Lurgi still has it's claws in me.  My breathing is very restricted and sitting in the dank shed is not advisable.  Snot flow rate appears to have dropped though.

A few people at work are coming down with COVID & the latest 'flu & it's arguable as to which is the worse to get, right now.

Man the flu season really gets some ppl ..freight train sort of impact ..bloke here at the camp ..my mate Gavin got it and he looked like death ..he's much better now but still he's not alone here .
It does sound like your getting closer to is buggering off Fred ...hopefully it buggers off very soon mate .

So turning the Pz 1 Hot rod into a hotter rod.

Don't envy you the teensy tiny tracks though.. Been there once. Trying not to do it again.

Individual track links are a change for me.  I can cope with them every so often.  Maybe once a year?
Not like I build a lot of armour.

I had the flu jab end of May/beginning of June so if this is flu it's a mitigated version (or one they didn't include in the vaccination mix).  And I know it's not covid - I did a RAT.
I think it's just a bad cold.  I probably went back to work too soon and then the talking all day to the customers did me no good.

Since im a mutant and don't catch colds I don't bother with the jab ...funnily when I did get a flu jab I caught a bloody cold ..many yrs ago now but still ..so since then ..nope ..not interested.
That covid virus now is so weak its weaker than the common cold and it's so weak now the news has totally forgotten about it..so if ya did have covid you'd have probably felt much better .

When I did have covid I announced to all and sundry "i've had colds worse than this".

Which is when I suspect I put the mozz on myself and so am the only person to blame for this.

It seems the snot has stopped running.  Just got to get the lungs back in a better operating condition.  I've been coughing so hard I thought I was going to spit one out.

That's why we have two - so's we have a spare...

Lessening of the flow is always a Good Thing, too -  hope you're better soon.

My experience of COVID 19 was that of a mild 'flu, but I was vaccinated & boosted.

Two of the anti-vaxxers at work have now had COVID (one back in 2021, the other a couple of weeks ago) & both have been knocked for six by it, the latest isn't back at work yet.

It's the thing about us humans...everything affects some one differently to the next .
A while back my mum ..who lives with 5 other members of our family..sister..2 nephews..oldest nephews fiance and my niece who all had covid ..well mum is 87 and didn't catch it ..still hasn't and mum and I have extremely similar bodies when it comes to health..be both have problems controlling heat..both of us don't catch colds ...so our systems ain't normal even to my sis..I like that
